Thats very helpfull thank you.

 

 

I was thinking more like OFT letters , letters to trading standards ect

[cerberusalert]

You could always go along with them & send the 'prove it' letter, get involved in the inevitable postal ping pong match which will ensue. Build up a nice file of threat-o-grams, meaningless letters and 'phone calls and then slap a complaint into the OFT etc.

 

Or you can just send the Statute Barred letter & wait for them to hang themselves.

** Update **

 

sent them a statuate barred letter and a cca request by recorded delivery , The sent it all back this morning saying they have returned the debt to Cabot.

 

As they were asking for payment , are the still under an obligation to supply the information I requested or have they fullfilled their obligations by sending it back ?

[UnitedFront]

My understanding is that they were actually duty bound by Assignment to forward your request to their clients.

 

Either way I personally wouldn't worry until such a time as you hear something more from some moronic threat-monkey or the latest threat-o-matic 3000!! ;-)

I am not worried about it per se , what I want to do is make them follow their obligation to the letter and If they dont I will report them to everyone I can think of , perhaps if I do they will think twice before contacting someone else here.

Much as it pains me to admit it but Snotcall have not done anything wrong. You have informed them that the debt is Statute Barred so quite rightly they passed it back to Crapbot. HOWEVER if Crapbot continue to send you begging letters then you MUST report them.

Subscribing...

Cabot havent as yet sent me any letters in relation to this debt (as far as I am aware)

 

so from what you saying I can take no further action agaist scotcall because they have fullfilled their obligation . gutted

(wasted a £1 postal order)

 

What about Cabot asking another company to collect a debt they know is statuate barred debt ? , is there any mileage in complaining about that ?

[babybear39]

Yes, complain to the OFT, TS and your MP.

Have you actually told Cabot the debt is Statute Barred?? If you havent then they can legally chase a debt no matter how old. Just because a debt becomes Statute Barred does not mean it doesnt exist. It just means in CANNOT be legally enforced through the Courts. Where they fall foul of the OFT et al is when they try to con you into thinking they can take legal action

Update #2

 

I have been home and I have paperwork for exactly the same thing from Cabot when they last tried it on last time.

 

I have a letter to them regarding telephone harrasment sent recorded delivery and a cca request both sent recorded and signed for.

 

I have had replies to both letters , one apologising for the telephone calls and the other telling me that the information I requested needs to be obtained from barclaycard

 

My cca was dated 17th Aug 2006

 

 

I cannot remeber saying to Cabot that it was staute barred but then again I havent actually spoken to Cabot for 3 years.

[ODC]

That throws a different light on things. Report Cabot to the OFT for

1. Chasing a Statute Barred Debt after you have informed them the debt was Statute Barred and would not be paying

2. Failing to comply with you CCA request

3. Passing on a Disputed Debt
